Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Utkarsh Ambudkar, an actor originally from Baltimore, Maryland, playing for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, supporting the Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund
Emily Hampshire, an actor & writer originally from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, playing for GLAAD
Mark Duplass, a filmmaker & actor originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, playing for Blink Now
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Tonight begins Season 2 of primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!, as 27 new celebrities make their way onto the Alex Trebek Stage, with the overall winner taking home $1,000,000 for their charity! This week’s match sees Utkarsh Ambudkar (Jay on Ghosts), Emily Hampshire (Stevie on Schitt’s Creek), and Mark Duplass (Chip on The Morning Show). The previous sentence has been provided for the general information of the viewing audience; one important thing to not about this tournament is that because SAG-AFTRA is on strike, it is very likely that you will not see any mention of these celebrities’ projects on the show itself, as that would land the actors in significant trouble with SAG-AFTRA for “promoting struck work”.
None of these three players have much in terms of a Jeopardy! history—of the three players, only one of them—Mark—has been mentioned in a clue on the show, in a clue in December 2022 alongside his brother Jay.
One further important thing that you’ll see tonight that was hinted at on Monday’s Inside Jeopardy!: When a clue is on screen, there is going to be more information the screen than just the text of the clue. What extra information will be there is still yet to be seen, but the show is using this Celebrity Jeopardy! tournament as a testing ground for this innovation; I assume that if it is received well that it might migrate over to the regular syndicated show. I’m also sure that the show is very interested in hearing viewer feedback on this front. To that end, all comments here regarding the on-screen clue presentation will be within bounds in the comment section—I just ask that you refrain from any sort of personal attacks.
